The Iowa storm has produced another tornado just southwest of Buck Creek (south of Manchester). The velocity couplet, now in southern Delaware County, is the best I have seen on radar today.

Reports from Cedar Rapids TV say that the original tornado near Central City hit the Pinicon Ridge Park. Unconfirmed reports of campers flipped and damage to a farm.
EDIT - Link to the Cedar Rapids news station - www.kcrg.com Pictures of the tornado are already coming in.

That Fredrick, OK storm looks amazing on radar! That hook is so classic. 2 confirmed tornados on the OK border just minutes to an hour ago.
KFOR is streaming the recording of the Roll, OK tornado right now. It went from a stringed out rope to a multi vortex wedge, to a thick stovepipe. Man that was very impressive!

Nice shot Brian!
The storm moving into southern Kiowa County is getting its act together now, and has developed a distinct hook over the past hour or so. However, unless it takes a jog to the right I don't think it will produce more than gorilla hail at this point.
My wife's family in Vernon called and had a couple of tennis-ball sized hail stones, scattered amongst the ground-covering golfballs.

Brian, very nice pic!
NDSK profiler is showing the LLJ really starting to kick in now, 850-1000 mb winds hitting 50 kts and beginning to back. Any cells moving north from OK into SC KS are going to be in an excellent environment.

Excellent photo, Brian.
Grungy cell that is TOR-warned moving across the Mississippi river from Dubuque Co, IA into Grant Co, WI...not much to look at on radar, but it's had persistant rotation for a bit.
*edit* ARX LSR showing spotter report of brief touchdown

Reissue of big PDS TOR Watch over south KS, West 2/3 of OK, and NW TX - going until 3:00am
Looks like more storms trying to fire right along the TX panhandle into W OK... again!

Storm SW of Altus is being streamed live via KFOR's Helicopter, they are showing funnels dropping out of the sky, not on the ground, but it looks like it could drop something once/if it anchors down.
Storm in Kiowa/Caddo county appears to have finished an extremely drawn-out cycling process, but does not look to be moving into an area that is favorable for tornadic development as the Purcell profiler indicates continued slight veering at mid-levels. Another storm moving over Altus has taken on a much more classic signature over the past half hour, and may be more likely to produce a tornado in the near future, and the surface thermodynamics appear to be relatively intact in the wake of the earlier storm (still 75/64 at Altus per OK Mesonet).

Not able to chase but looking at my radar and 'wishing' I was out and about. Looks like Mutual, Oklahoma may have taken a direct hit from what looked like on radar to be a significant tornado...obviously I hope I'm wrong though...

Tornado on the ground being streamed KFOR.
Power flashes just west of Carnegie, OK.
You can't even see the vortex, only the funnel barely dipping out of the wallcloud and power flashes @ the surface. This is crazy
EDIT: Why isn't this storm TOR Warned???

The power flashes appeared to be stationary...it could be a downed power line at a substation or a straight-line wind event.
Lead storm is starting to move into Caddo county, but does not look like it's getting any better organized that it was earlier. That being said, the Purcell profiler's latest update is indicating slightly improved low-level shear as the winds in the 1-2 km AGL layer intensify, but mid-level veering profile is still evident. This storm may be too far east by the time the low-level jet kicks in, and if that's the case then I would turn my attention more to the storm that is passing north of Altus right now.
